Harry Potter actor
stabbed to death in London

Rob
Knox, the 18-year-old actor who plays student Marcus Belby in
"Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince", due out in November,
was stabbed to death in London on Saturday. According to the
latest reports from the U.K. capitol, Knox was stabbed to death
during a fight which broke out outside of a London bar on
Saturday. The 21-year-old man, which had been arrested on
suspicion of murder, allegedly came to the bar waving a knife, a
scuffle broke out and Rob Knox and his brother Jamie were
reportedly trying to protect each other, when the Harry Potter
actor suffered the deadly knife wounds. Several others were also
taken to a hospital and treated for stab wounds. Knox was also
taken to the nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly
after. Two friends of the Harry Potter actor managed to pin the
armed man down, wrestling with him for several minutes before
police arrived. "Rob was just trying to help out. He was like
that. I grabbed the knife, I didn't know at the time that he had
another knife. It was just chaos," one of the friends was
quoted by the British press. "Rob was kind and thoughtful and
would always help out others. The life and soul of the party, he
was very outgoing, loved sports, and would always strike up a
conversation with people. He was respectful to others and adored
by all his family and friends," Rob Knox' parents said in a
statement.
